Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples and any optional nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for added fiber.
  • For a lower-sugar option, reduce the granulated sugar by 2 tablespoons.
